Chapter 1418: Chapter 1412: Innocent Feelings

Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu~

Just as the little fox finished speaking, Danzi, who was nestled in bed and asleep, suddenly leapt up and pecked fiercely at the little fox.

Though it didn’t quite understand, Danzi felt that its mommy’s emotions were a bit low.

"Stupid chicken, why are you pecking me? I’m just giving her a sense of alarm."

The little fox jumped to the side.

This pest chicken is terrifying when it’s angry.

The little fox had long since noticed that the relationship between the Corpse King and Xin Lin was unusual.

Yet, despite their mutual affection, the two were peculiar, refusing to express it and constantly bickering.

It’s the Emperor not worried, but driving the eunuch insane with worry, and driving her, the little fox who lost the Fox Pill, up the wall!

"Can’t you control this pest chicken? It never seems to understand."

The little fox grew irate and reached out to scratch Danzi.

Soon, the two little beasts were entangled in a fight.

"Stop messing around, there’s a show to watch today. A few days later, after going to Wangjing, I’ll ask where there is Spiritual Wisdom Grass."

Xin Lin suppressed her gloomy frustration.

She had been feeling out of sorts lately, uneasy, and her cultivation progress had significantly decreased.

When did it start?

Probably since Pride Corpse left, it’s been like this.

Am I worried about Pride Corpse?

Just the thought of Pride Corpse disappearing without notice intensified Xin Lin’s vexation.

She caught the two little beasts and tossed them into the Sealing Spirit Talisman.

Day had broken, and the matter at Tea Mountain was bound to unfold.

Sure enough, as soon as day broke, there was a commotion outside the inn.

Tu Suxuan had been busy all day yesterday and finally got a rough understanding of the situation in Yunshui City.

But unexpectedly, worse news came early in the morning.

Tea Mountain was in trouble.

The mountain that cultivated Yunshui Tea, Yunshui City’s largest source of income, was suddenly overrun with centipedes overnight.

Witnesses reported that among the centipedes, the largest was as thick as a python, bowl-sized, and the smallest were finger-thick.

They had taken over the mountain, and no one dared to approach.

Two bodies were found at the foot of the mountain.

One was Tu Suxia, whose face was mangled; people identified him through his clothing.

The other was Fengdong’s Zhao Tianming.

It’s unclear how these two ended up at Tea Mountain together.

Both were dead.

Tu Suxia appeared to have been attacked by the Feitian Centipedes and died of poisoning.

As for Zhao Tianming, he was murdered.

There was a bloody hole in his chest.

The wound unmistakably pointed to a killing by Ghost Venerable.

The whereabouts of Ghost Venerable himself remained unknown.

The news spread, and the entire Yunshui City was in an uproar.

Residents began to spread rumors that a centipede monster had perched on Tea Mountain, and some packed up their belongings in fear and left.

Additionally, the news traveled back to Fengdong, and Ghost Shiva, upon hearing of her son’s death, was furiously heading over.

Tu Suxuan promptly took people to Tea Mountain.

Taking advantage of Ghost Shiva’s unavailability, Xin Lin sent Murong Ziyue and her mother away.

In the sky, a colorful-feathered Xuan Bird had already arrived.

"Ziyue, take your mother back to Purple Cloud City first, leave the matters here in Yunshui City to me. Tu Suxia and Zhao Tianming are both dead, so you don’t need to worry anymore,"

Xin Lin said, helping them onto the Xuan Bird.

Murong Ziyue hesitated to speak.

Their deaths were sudden, and she roughly guessed that the situation was far more complicated than the rumors outside suggested.

"Xin Lin, my mother and I sincerely thank you, be cautious on your journey, I’ll be waiting for you in Purple Cloud City."

The Xuan Bird took flight, and the figures of Murong Ziyue and her mother soon became mere dots in the sky.
